And than ... out of the blue, my daughter and son-in-law, tell me they are expecting a baby. How cool is that !!Eventhough my daughter can crochet very well -my fault :P- I really wanted to make the baby-blanket.

They chose mustard-yellow and grey-shades as the colourtheme. The pattern we chose together. It is in the weave-stitch.

Later as planned, I started on May 14. And yesterday June 5 I finally worked in the last of the 140 ends.Today I'm going to wash it, so tomorrow I can give it to them.

In fact this work is totally nuts ! Seven colour-blocks, so seven skeins on the table too. After every row you have to carefully change the range of the skeins and after that you turn your work. I chose Stylecraft Special DK for the yarn, because it is available in so many colourways. I had no such yarn in my stock, so I couldn't make a swatch up front. I guessed four skeins of each would be enough.The blocks are almost 6 x 6 inches. Used hooksize E (3,5mm).Up front I made a scheme of the colourblocks on paper.

The pattern is all written, so I made a shortened diagram as an example.Always an even number of SC in row 1. As in the example below : 6SC.Always end a block with an even row.The colourchange is at the vertical line in the middle.My blocks have 27 stitches per row and I made 28 rows.
